21 March 2007 is the Harmony Day, the United Nations Day tocelebrate/commemorate the end of racisme in the world.For that moment, as the member of UC clubs, University ofCanberra Indonesian Student Society (UCISS) took a partactively. We performed two dances and one song. Indang Dance

(form West Sumatera), Poco-poco dance (from Sulawesi Island)and Yamko Rambe Yamko (Song from Papua Province).Amazingly, nobody is a real dancer, and we have only a courage todo it (Nike said: ‘just do it’). We had been practising just foraround 2,5 weeks, three days per week. Ismail (student – masterprogram from Aceh) taught Indang dance and myself taught PocoPoco dance (I only learnt poco-poco in the office, in Makassar).Surprisingly, our performance was very successful. We receivedmany compliments. Many people said that our performance wasthe highlight of the Harmony Day 2007, and Leonie (Director ofUC Harmony) added that our best achievement was we could ask the UC Vice Chancellor (Rektornya) to up and dancingtogether with the dancers and all audiences. This event was also

attended by the Representative of UN in Australia and IndonesianEducation and Culture Atache. We could not draw how happy we

were. We did it! Yes!!!We’ve got two certificate of appreciation, one from UC and one from Embassy of RI.Now we are very optimistic, we are ready to participate on othersimilar events (wah .. nantang nih ye …). Do you believe that we have received the invitation again from the university to perform in May and September … We have discussed and we are agree to perform another dance from all over Indonesia (gaya euy, siapa yang nglatih ya .. he .. he ….), and the next dance should be Saman dance, from Aceh. Ups … I forgot to tell you that the theme of the Harmony Day 2007 is ‘bringing the world together’ and .. our performance was parralled with the theme and our philosophy: unity in diversity (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika) …See you guys,wassalam,Bababna Ghia
